The Mario Kart: Double Dash tracks have a variety of twists and turns, along with others being seen in the background. It gives more life to the world around you when you race, but I'm not only talking about the background. It's the tracks themselves. So let's boost what I think about each track!

First off, we have Luigi Circuit. It's like a big oval, but being compressed at the sides. You start off going into the two roads where you get a U-turn to go back to them. It seems like a good track to practice getting into the controls of the game. Oh, and let's not forget Luigi's high rank mansion.

Next is Peach Beach, where the award ceremony takes the scene. I never really knew about the fact you come down during the first turn, and come back up on the last. I was probably more focused on powersliding. Also, doesn't the rock look like an ostrich?

Baby Park is an okay track, because even though you finish laps quickly, it's 7 instead of 3. And to make things stand out, you have theme park rides around you. And like Mario Bros. Circuit, which belongs to Luigi, I think Baby Park should belong to Baby Luigi.

You now have a desert dune-themed course being Dry Dry Desert, and it's interesting. You have these winding roads with pillars on the sides of them for shortcuts. Then you find this deep sand pit which not only you sink in, you get eaten by another of these Piranha Plants. You have the bumpy sand hills, and you go back to the line.

Mushroom Bridge is home to the Toad houses you see at the shortcut, and the bridge itself. If you're feeling confident, you can get on the rails and have a speed boost. Or, if you're like me, you can A-tech your way in the center of the bridge. And this is Toadette's course, not mine.

Mario Circuit can be seen in the back of Mushroom Bridge, and now you're racing here! You have a strict U-turn, and then you're met with a Chain Chomp, right before the tunnel. And just like the babies having the Chain Chomp as their special, both Luigi and Mario Circuit have them! You now enter the dirt path with the Piranha Plants, and that's all it has to offer!

They put a race track on a cruiser. What more could you ask from Daisy?

Okay, Waluigi Stadium is the one with the ramps. It really feels like you're in a dirtbike stadium rather than karting! Maybe this was a tease to Mario Kart Wii? Maybe that's why going off ramps feels uncanny. And, who decided to put a bump near the final ramp?

The icy track Sherbet Land has some Shy Guys skating on them, so be careful not to run into them. You get out of the cave, and you notice how many spectators are here! You have hills, ice, and even ice cube structures watching you! Oh, the Freezies want to freeze you while driving, so be vigilant on that.

One word. Chaos. Well, in a good way. Mushroom City has you going through a busy city with lots of traffic near you! There will be lots of drivers being dragged by their karts. However, the many paths give the track some character. Hence, look at the map! It's loaded!

A Youtuber once said that a track is theirs. That being Yoshi Circuit. You carefully go beside Yoshi's hands, nose, spines(There's an alternate path but okay), tail, and back to the shoe. Due to the many turns of the circuit, it's kinda fun to race at!

I'm sure Nintendo worked hard on making DK Mountiain, because you barely see polygons, no spectators, and the music is based on the Donkey Kong Jr. arcade theme of the first level! You get shot out of a cannon, with you coming down to pass the hairpin turns. Also, why is the mountain angry? It looks like a volcano!

I noticed how nobody was seeing the action on Wario Colosseum. Maybe they like Waluigi more, who knows? This colosseum is ridonculous with the many curves and ramps. I guess I'm the only one who uses the path in the middle before the finish line! Wait, is it midnight!?

Eh, Dino Dino Jungle isn't really doing much to adrenaline, but the views with Noshi are breathtaking. You have the dock of the three bridge paths, the geysers burst out of the ground, and more are waiting at the finish line.

I don't understand why Bowser made this one too narrow, I sort of bumped into the side of the castle. Mostly the only thing that stands out is the Bowser statue, which I think reappears in the Wii version of Bowser's Castle.

And we are at Rainbow Road now, above Mushroom City. How nice, but let's focus on the layout. You have these two hairpin turns that resemble to DK Mountain's, and you see in front of you the spiral. I can tell how much players fall off here while trying to stay on. You don't have to powerslide, no other drivers are doing that technique. You have this turning path that leads to the tunnel, and one more spiral until you reach the end.

And that's everything I think of and notice about the tracks of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

If you're going to be Mario, you'll spend most of your time saving the princess and doing parkour in the Mushroom Kingdom.

If you're going to be Luigi, you're going to visit the mansion, become kind of overpowered, and see Shy Guy's actual face in one of the Mario sports games.

If you're going to be Peach, you'll become the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom with the Toads like your servants, but sometime you'll be captured by Bowser.

If you're going to be Daisy, you'll have most of the spotlight in Super Mario Land, and see a lot of Shy Guys in Sarasaland than the Mushroom Kingdom.

If you're going to be Toad, there will be many of you scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom and will have different jobs to do, and the captain can't really jump when he's on his adventure.

If you're going to be Yoshi, either Mario or Luigi will hop on your back and ride you, while you stick your elongated tongue out to get enemies.

If you're going to be a Goomba, you're mostly going to get your head stomped on a lot. Nobody will probably even watch.

If you're going to be a Koopa Troopa, you're in for a real pain, because you have yourself spinning from pipe to pipe, having your shell taken, and lose your time to listen to Bowser. And don't forget the pit beneath, Paratroopas.

If you're going to be a Piranha Plant, you basically just come in and out of a pipe, and nothing else. Unless you sing in the Flower Kingdom.

If you're going to be a Hammer Bro, some gamers will despise at Super Mario Bros. just of how quick you are when you throw hammers.

If you're going to be a Thwomp, you have to wait all day just to crush someone below you.

If you're going to be a Wiggler, once you get bounced on, you turn red and start having a temper tantrum, that lasts a while.

If you're going to be a Bullet Bill, you have that focused face of trying to attack Mario and his friends, but once you get stepped on, you fall to the pit.

If you're going to be a Pokey, Mario and his friends will have a hard time trying to get over you, but when they do, be careful, because a shell might be on its way.

If you're going to be a Spike, I hope your throat won't hurt, because spikeballs will eject out of your mouth as a way to attack.

If you're going to be a Shy Guy, you're not really shy, just some secrets will be only led to you. Even about hiding your face with a mask.

55 seconds?

As you start the game you choose the cubic centimeters, time trials, and more, but once you get to the roster, you start to wonder who you will partner up with. I pick Toad, and I don't know who to pick, because when it comes to relationships, I'm really careful. Wario can be greedy and sometimes mean, Koopa is an enemy, Bowser is the nemesis of Mario, and Luigi says, well, "TOO FAST" when you speed up. So is there a way to decide who to choose? I don't always want to pick Toadette to go start the races.
